More Information

The Commonwealth of Virginia and Fairfax County do not clear snow and
ice from public walkways, including sidewalks and trails. Although
not legally obligated, Fairfax County residents and businesses are
encouraged to clear snow off the sidewalks in front of your property, so
pedestrians, especially school children, people with disabilities and
older adults, can walk safely. You also are encouraged to help
neighbors who may not be able to clear snow from their driveways and
sidewalks.

In addition:

Fairfax County Public
Schools (FCPS) are scheduled to be in session on Monday, Feb.
15. FCPS requests everyone who is able to clear walking paths and
bus stops so that students can get to school safely.

Residents and businesses should make sure that all parking spots
identified as accessible parking
spaces for people with disabilities are cleared of snow and ice.

Homeowner associations may require members of their communities to
clear walkways on or near their property. Contact your association or
property manager for more information.

The Virginia Department of Emergency Management reminds residents that
shoveling snow is hard on your body. If there is any reason that
shoveling snow might be dangerous for you, such as a heart condition,
consult your doctor before shoveling. If you or someone you are with
begins to have chest discomfort, especially with one or more of the
signs of a heart attack, call 9-1-1 right away.
